WASHINGTON, June 6.—The Industrial Commission at its session to-day consid- ered the tariff question with incidental reference to trusts, the witnesses being| Congressmen Robert W. Tayler of Ohio | and George Gunton, president of the New York Institute of Social Economics. Tay- ler took the position that any discussion in Congress of the tariff at this time wouid have a damaging effect upon the country. He said the Dingley law was the most equitable tariff law the United States had ever had. He took a decided pesition against trusts and said they were not fostered by the protective tariff. Tayer also said that he believed in the principles of reciprocity but that he did not_indorse any of the recently negoti- =ted reciprocity treaties. plying 1o an argument recently made be- fore the commussion by Edward Atkin- sou for freer trade. Gunton said that the eedom contended for by the opponents the tariff is analogous to the freedom of the savage, a freedom which if in- dulged in too freely not only brings in- jury but ruin to himself Upholds the Dingley Law. Tayier cry of this country for the pust few That there should not be the slightest re- laxing of the tariff principle as now em- bodied in the Dingley law. The relation of the tariff to trusts, he said, is only in- ciGental. The Dingley law embodies, he said, the idea that American civiliza- tion is on a higher plane than any other and requires a higher reward for its labor to maintain that excellence. When- ever the labor cost is greater than else- where it is necessary that there should be uan equalizing influence such as the Dingiey law. Primarily,~ therefore, the protective tariff law was in the interest of labor. Even the farmer, he said, gets & reciprocal benefit. “How is the farmer benefited by the tariff on steel?” asked Colonel Living- ston. “In the first place,” replied the witaess, “there is not much tariff on steel and iron, except possibly on tin plate. We pay out in wages not less than $20,000,000. That means that the consuming power of the American people at home is increased to that extent, and I think that the effect of that increased consumption is sufficient to recoup the farmer for any supposed in- e of the cost to him of iron and steel rticies which he may purchase.” Abuses Certain to Follow Trusts. Tayler announced himself as opposed to be said, he considers human nature too weak to entrust in a few people such a power as is involved in trusts. He thought abuses were certain and that the result would be what he called Gover- mental socialism or Governmental owner- | ship of articles controlled by the trusts. “Do vou know of any combine that controls any industry?’ Clarke said that he did not. t the United States Steel Corpor- n on the border of obtaining absolute control?” asked Colonel Livingston. 1 cannot answer that question either yes or no,” replied the witness, “’but there are many large iron and steel concerns not in the combine. Iron ore and coal are widely distributed, and I do not be- lieve that any one will éver get absolute cortrol of them.” Tayler said that, distrustful as he was of the trusts, he had no remedy fo sug- gest. He did not accept the theory that the trusts alone could be trusted to re- duce the cost of commodities. ing the United Stat sald that setu -th d that amount. dem would oppose the Babcock bill placing iron nd returns upon them. He sajd he progucts on the free list, because the re- sult would be to destroy independent ef- fort, while it would not especially injure the tr as with them the only effect could be to reduce labor. Machinist Strike Justified. On general principles Tayler thought a discussion of the tariff at thi be unwise and undesirable. He did not consider trusts the outgrowth of protec- tion, but conceded that incidentally some | trusts might be benefited by protection, “just as the sun may cause weeds to srow Speaking of the strike of the machinists, Gunton said it was perfectly right, as he belicved that labor was justified in organ- izing a capital for the protection of its interests. He said, however, that the ma- chinists were blameworthy, in that they had agreed to arbitrate and then had failed to live up to their agreement. He favored compulsory education and a law limiting the hours of labor. Atkinson, Gunton said that his_views were all born of theory and that when the opinion got abroad that theories akin to Atkinson’s were about to be enacted into law there came near being general bank- ruptey. NAVAL OFFICERS WILL INVESTIGATE EXPLOSION Belief That the Loss of Ammunition at Mare Island Will Not Be Severe. WASHINGTON, June 6.—A naval board o quiry will be assembled at S8an Fran- cisco to investigate the explosion which oceurred yesterday at the Mare Island navy yard. Admiral O'Neil of the Bureau of Ordnance has not yet been officially ad- vised of the explosion. The magazine is the only one om the Pacific Coast, and has a large capacity, in order to supply ibe ships in Pacific waters. Fortunately, all projectiles end mumnitions are kept in detached buildings so that the damage to the powder is not expected to result in a total loss of nmmunition. VALLEJO, June 6.—Wednesday's ex- plosion of 300 tons of powder injured no one at the time, but Boatswain Boland was hurf in extinguishing the fire, a ma- chinist suffered a broken leg in another part of the navy yard, and a workman was badly crushed beneath a timber. INDIANS INVOKE AID OF THE SUPREME COURT Object to the Opening for Settlement of Lands Held by Them in Oklahoma. WASHINGTON, June 6.—Suit was be- gun to-day in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by Lone Wolf and other Indians representing the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache tribes, asking the court 1o enjoin Secretary Hitcheock, Commissioner Herrman of the wGeneral Land Office, and Cemmissioner Jones of the Indian Office, from carrying into ef- fect the law providing for the opening of parts of.the lands of those Indians lo- cated in Oklahoma Territory, to settle- ment. They also ask that the law auth- orizing the opening of the lands be de- clared void on the ground that the ces- sion by the Indians professing to repre- sent the tribes was unauthorized. Fire Causes Heavy Loss. MILWAUKEE, June 6-—The Pabst Brewing Company suffered a loss by’ fire to-day to the extent of between $150,000 000, fully covered by insurance. One man was killed during the progress of the fire. Elevator “F” was gutted and a cupola containing the controlling ma- chinery of the malt house, the building adjol , was destroyed.

Letter Containing His Objec- tions Delayed in the Mails. SR WASHINGTON, June 6.—In view of the several representations made in Havana regarding the interpretation by the Sec- retary of War to the Cuban commission- ers of the Platt amendment, it can be stated authoritatively that the Secretary | did not deviate from the declaration that the President and himself had no power to change an act of (ongress. It is said here that the amendrhents which the Cu- ban convention made to the Platt law and the incorporation of conversations with Secretary Root did not represent his | views of the amendment, nor was he cor- | rectly quoted in the alieged statement. Among the reports given out in Havana |is the translation of a letter of Scnator Platt, written tc the Secretary of War, furnished as a confidential document to | the Cuban commissioners when they | | were here. This letter briefly gives the views of the Connecticut Senator on | some features of the law which bears his | name. Surprise was expressed that the | letter should appear in print in Havana. | General Wood telegraphed the depart- | ment_ to-day inquiring as _to the where- | abouts of the letter of Secretary Root explaining in detail the objections to the actions of the constitutional convention. It is understood that the letter will reach Havana within a very short time. It has | been delayed in the mail. . o SANCTIONS ~ ELECTRIC ROAD Yerkes Will Introduce Traction System in London. the District Railway to-day sanctioned Charles T. Yerkes' plan for the introduc- | tion of electricity as the motive power of the read. J. 8. Forbes, the president, said the work would occupy two years. The agreement with Yerkes provided for the formation of an electric traction company to electrify the road. Mr. Yerkes, | who represented sixteen of the most infiuential firms, bankers and capitalists, was ready to stake £1,000,000 to help the | railroad relieve its position.

It had to construct a gener- | ating station at Chelsea, make the neces- | sary alterations in the permanent way and construct fresh rolling stock.

American Capital Invested. “Yes,” said Yerkes when interviewed to- night, “we Have practically got control of the Underground Rallway. That is what it amounts to. My syndicate is com- posed of British and American financiers, although far the largest portion of the capital comes from the United States. We | hope to begin work in a few months, as | the consent of Parliament has been ob-! tained. ‘The system we intend to install :s al- | | most_exactly similar to that in_use on | the elevated lines in Chicago. We will sell the present antiquated cars and sub- stitute others of an American pattern. We intend to rebuild the stations, to install arc lights and to make the road equal to any rapid transit hine in the world. “Yes, we must have American engineers | to do the work. They know nothing about | that sort of thing here. I tell you what is the trouble with the English concerns is that they do not know the value of a scrap heap. As to the agitation over the | TUnited States buying up England it is| absurd. Years ago British capital con-| trolled the buik of the American railroads. | Since then Great Britain has been on th. decline and the United States has pro. xressed. As a natural result the circum- stances are now reversed. ! English Company Now Satisfied. “When I first proposed to take over the | Underground Rallway the English com- | pany raised all sorts of objections, but gradually they came around and they ap- ear to be perfectly satisfied with the argain, “No, I cannot say who are in with me. However, I wish to assert distinctlv that the report that the Widener-Elkins group is in any way connected with the syndi- cate is absolutely untrue. I intend to re- main here for a considerable time, as there are likely to be several things need- ing my personal attention.” After declining to say whether he con- templated buying up other roads, Mr. Yerkes concluded with a declaration that | the remodeled Underground Railway would be far superior to the existing Lon- don_“tube.” “The people who built that,” said he, “krew nothing except how to dig holes. Everything else is wrong. Chicago is ahead of the rest of the world in electric traction. If they had studied the Chicago system they might have given London somethring better. In the course of time my syndicate will be represented by direc- tors of the board of the Underground l}lnuw:y. but there is no hurry about that.” | BELGIUM HAS A SPECIAL | TREATY WITH THE POWERS Foreign Minister Says That Her Neutrality and Independence Are Guaranteed. BRUSSELS, June 6.—In the Senate to- day M. de Favereau, the Foreign Min- ister, in reply to a question, said: “The guarantee of the new treaty of Belgium is inscribed in a special treaty between Belgium and the five guarantee. ing powers. The independence, integrity and inviolability of Belgian territory are guaranteed, having a view to prevent Bel- glum from serving as a battlefield for | European nations. We must, therefore, repel invasion from whatever side it may come. After analyzing the various treaties and protocols, M. de Favereau said: “It is indisputable that the gaaranteeing powers intend to guarantee forever our | neutrality, inviolability and independ- ence.” YOUNG LAD MURDERS HIS BROTHER AND SISTER Completes His Terrible Work hy Fir- ing a Barn and Then Shooting Himself. ‘ TOLEDO, O., June 6.—Leroy Grove, the 16-year-old son of a prosperous farmer living near Napoleon, stabbed his sister, ed 24, to the heart, killing her instantly. e then strangled his 13-year-old brother to death and, firing the barn, ran in and shot himself through the temple.

ONDON, June 6.—The Common Council at the Guildhall to-day agreed to confer the freedom of the city on Lord Milner of Cape Tewn. “but only after considera- bl> criticism. Mr.. Morton, who led the opposition, blamed Lord Milner for all the troubie Great” Britair had in South* Africa ard for the ill-feeling existing be- tweeh the Britisi'and the Dutch. A Pretoria speflak says: Colonel Wil- son, with 240 of Kitchener's scouts, ‘has surprised and routed 400 Boers belonging to Beyer's coramand, tbirty-four ~miles west of Warm Baths. The Boers resist- ed stubbornly but finally broke and fled. leaving thirty-seven dead, a hundred prisoners and &1l their wagons and sup- plies, including 8000 cattle, in the hands of the British. The loss of the latter was three men killed and fifteen wounded. Beyer’s main command arrived on the scene soon after the engagement, but failed in an attempt to recapture the sup- plies. Beyer was thus left practically without any transport or supplies. DISHONESTY OF OFFICERS. Alleged Frauds in Connection With the Purchase of Horses. LONDON, June 6.—After a long and somewhat embittered discussion of the policy of the War Office in buying horses for use in South Africa, the House of Commons to-night, by a vote of 159 to 60, voted the sum of £15,779,000 for transports and remounts. © teimimtvivimisieiiiiniieiieiedeivel el ettt el @ INGANITY WILL BE THE DEFENSE Plea of Kansas Woman Who Murdered Her 3 Husband. KANSAS CITY, June 6.—When Lulu Prince-Kennedy entered court this morn- ing it was to hear the outline of her case in the trial for murdering her husband, maGe by Attorney Nearing for the de- fense. The attorney said he would prove that the defendant had recelved most brutal treatment at the hands of the husband, which had caused her to kill him during a tempozary fit of insanity. They would show positively, the attorney said, that the woman's father and brothers had absolutely no part in the murder, knowing of the woman's act only after it had been committed. The State's first witness proved impor- tant. Frederick Bullene, a reporter, and Wade Munford, assistant city editor ot the Star, told of Mrs. Kennedy and her brother, 'Willlam Prince, coming to the office of that paper and requesting the ublication of a_ certain story r:gardln ger marriage to Kennedy. Both admittes that the marriage had been forced upon the dead man, William Prince \8oing so far as to say that Kennedy had heen given the alternative of marrying or be- ing killed. He had requested this fact not to be published, “as it would annul the marriage.” , Some Damaging Testimony. Roland Butler, a stenographer in Ken- nedy's office, told of thedpnsonar's father and brother Will demanding that he pay her board bill and when he refused threatening him and chasing him from his office, and of Kennedy's secking . the protection of a policeman. Then he de- -scribed minutely the scene at the .office on the day of the murder, when Mrs. Kennedy appeared and affer receiving his refusal to live with her shot him five times. She had kicked Kennedy’s face as he lay prostrate and appeared pu’feetl{ cool. Butler sald Will Prince strucl K_annedy'll ""’"‘31' down nu the latter d to disarm the woman. "g'urlng the examination of witnesses, even in the recital of the thrilling scene at the murder, the prisoner looked care- lessly from jury to witness and hardly moved a muscle.

He domanded the appointment of a committee of inquiry. Lord Stanley, Financial Secretary of the War Office, said an inguiry would be made into the matter and he believed the accusations of corruption brought against British officers would be disproved. War Secretary Brodrick said the War Office pald for horses in England £42, in Canada £30, and in Australia, the United told one man who was holding her broth- er, “Let him go; I did the shooting,’” and then, when a policeman arrived and was holding her, she exclaimed, according to a witness, “Let go my hands; I want to fix my hair,” which she did in a matter of fact way. Another witness sald that the defendant’s two brothers and her father were in different parts of the build- ing at the time. R. J. Costello, a county employe, told of meeting C. W, Prince, the father, at the entrance of the building a moment after the shooting took place and of re- marking to the latter: ‘“Your daughter upstairs is shooting her husband. You could have prevented this if you had wanted to.” In a previous conversation with C. W, Pl}lgce. Costello testified, the former had sald: “Kennedy won’t get a divorce. not with Prince had sald that Kennedy had bet- ter do_ the right thing or ‘the papers would have something to write about.” CHICAGO TEAM PUTS UP SOME POOR BALL Wretched Fielding and Many Errors Give the Game to Phila- delphia.

It is said that in one case an | officer netted £50,000 in_the purchase of horses in Hungary. Dissatisfaction is said to have existed in_the colonies be- cause the Government has been buying horses on the Continent when colonial animals were available.

Vanderbilt has been asked to accept election to the Northern Pacific board of directors under the re- construction which is now under way in accordance with the agreement between the Union Pacific interests and J. J. Hill. This left the selection of the Northern Pacific board to J. P. Morgan, but it is | Hkely that all the names will be agreed to by the time he reaches this country. Mr. Vanderbilt has not given his accept- ance of election to the Northern Pacific board, so far as could be learned to-day. If he'declines, H. McK. Twombley wili be asked to go into the board. Both Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr, Twombley are direc: tors of the Chicago and Northwestern. Their election to the Northern Pacific board will not, however, indicate an in- terest of the Northwestern in the North- ern Pacific stocks so much as a desire to operate that property in the interest of harmony among the Western railways.

N. W., WASHINGTON, June 6.—Venezuela and Germany will both be interested in the visit the gunboat Mayflower will make to ports on the former's coast. Protec- tion of American interests is the primary object of the Mayflower’s cruise. Infor- mation is wanted regarding the present at- titude of Venezuela toward American citi- zens. Besides, it is deemed desirable to show the Caracas Government that Min. ister Loomis’ withdrawal has not ended the friendly calls of American warships. The Mayfiower will take advantage of her proximity to Margarita Island to skirt its shores. - It is not expected that any German men-of-war will be in that neigh- borhood, but the officials believe that it will not be amiss to show the world that the United States is not inattentive to events which have occurred in that quar- ter. Announcement of the dispatch of the Mayflower to Venezuela was made to-day by the Naval Bureau of Navigation, which stated that the vessel had left Juan for Carupano, a port in Venezuela a short distance to the eastward of Margarita Island. This port is also comparatively near the asphalt beds, which are in dis- pute between the New York and Ber- mudez Company and the Warner-Quinlan Syndicate. After a short stay here the Mayflower will proceed to La Guayra, tue seaport of Caracas, and her commandl officer will communicate with Mr. Russell, the American Charge d’Affairs, and per- haps go to Caracas and call upon Presi- dent Castro. From La Guayra the May- flower will steam to Puerto Gabello, one of the battlefields of Castro's revolution- ary campaign. e department asserts that the May- flower’s stay in Venezuelan waters will be limited to a few days, and they pro- fess to believe that beneficial efforts will flow from it. i DEATH COMES SUDDENLY TO MAJOR GEORGE ARTHUR He Returned Recently to United States on Furlough From the Philippines. CLEVELAND, June 6—Major George Arthur, assistant paymaster of the United States army, who recently returned from the Philippines, died suddenly at the Wed- dell House in this city early to-day. He was about 45 years old and unmarried. Major Arthur arrived at the hotel at a very early hour and sat down in a chair in the lobby. Shortly afterward on at- tache of the hotel found him gasping for breath and unconsclous. He was at once removed tg a room, but soon expired. hysiclars believe that death resulted Tom hemorrhage of the stomach or lungs. An autopsy will be held. Last fall, while in pursuit of his duties as paymaster of the trocps attached to a remote post in the Philippines, Major Ar- thur was atlaek(:;l by a number of drunken soldiers,®who attempted to get possession of his cash box. In the fight which followed Major Artur was badly beaten. He was sent to the hospital at Manila on his return and when able to leave the hospital came home on a fur- lough. He had dpracucally recovered from his wounds and had been in good health recently. Deceased was a son of P. M. Ar- thur, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, DISMISSED FROM CHAIR OF NATURAL SCIENCES Kansas Professor Displeases Univer- sity Trustees by Spreading Alleged Heretical Doctrines.
